You have just entered room "tuobrp."
Besyanteo has entered the room.
A Rockin SN has entered the room.
A Rockin SN: I'll RP your TUOB
Besyanteo: Invite Shaun?
Der DWSage
: Sorry folks-I got ambushed with a belated 4th of July celebration. And I did.
Besyanteo: Ah
Besyanteo
: I'd like a minute to go grab dinner and come back with it
Der DWSage
: Very well. You may do this.
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Der DWSage: >_> <_<
Der DWSage: So, in the meantime, we set up.
A Rockin SN: Yes sir
Der DWSage: <When last we left our heroes, they were beaten and dejected, and outsmarted by the Undead lord! Such a proud moment for them.>
Der DWSage
: <They're now healing up, headed back for reinforcements and/or supplies, and out for holy vengeance. MAKE YOUR CHOICES.>
Der DWSage
: <The Mercenary place is right ahead...>
A Rockin SN
: (Say we start in an assembly room?)
A Rockin SN: (Dunno, you guys?)
Der DWSage: <That is, the mercenary place was right ahead. They're inside of it. In the assembly room.>
Lithaladhwen
: (The heck?)
Der DWSage
: (I'm assuming that's where you were headed last time. >_>)
A Rockin SN
: (What?)
A Rockin SN: (Okay, just pick where we start?)
A Rockin SN: (Alistair would want to go to the Assembly Room after healing and stocking)
Der DWSage: (How about we let Ashley do that, since she's effectively heading the group.)
A Rockin SN
: (Kay)
Lithaladhwen: (We were headed back to the guild building, yes. I didn't realize I was leading the group, but um. Okay.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Zea needs to go recruit someone.)
Lithaladhwen
: *Elaith gets a knock on his door*
Der DWSage
: (You were going to more than anyone else, at least.)
A Rockin SN
: (Okay, well, say Alistair is still in the medical room, resting up after having his ass kicked)
Arch mage144: *The door opens, and Elaith is standing in the doorway--he looks annoyed for a moment, but softens his expression* Miss Mazuo. Can I assist you with something?
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. A few of us were sent on a job yesterday that rapidly became a lot more complicated when we realized a good portion of the town was being dominated by a vampire.
Lithaladhwen
: He's apparently got all the village kids hostage, won't let anyone leave, yadda yadda yadda.
Lithaladhwen
: It's messy.
Besyanteo
: (Glee)
Lithaladhwen
: I was hoping that you might be free, since I'd feel a lot better having someone else around familiar with undead.
Lithaladhwen
: (Glee?)
A Rockin SN
: (Gleeeeeeeee)
Arch mage144: A vampire? *eyebrow raise* Yes, somehow I doubted the majority of our coworkers would have the expertise to deal with that sort of situation.
Arch mage144
has left the room.
Besyanteo: (Elaithe: Whoops, look at the ti- *naps*)
CGNakibe
: (Rattigan?)
Lithaladhwen: (He's just having some computer issues. It wants to update itself.)
Lithaladhwen
: (And his AIM and/or internet crashed.)
CGNakibe
: (Bleh)
A Rockin SN: (Yeah, it happens. It shouldn't bother him if it restarted now.)
Der DWSage: (Also:Does Ashley wish the Tolaris duo to be involved? If so, he will be doing incredibly little talking. Since, y'know. That's another 2 characters for me to control.)
T3chn0Namagomi
has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Zea would ask them. She's in full-on "professional obligation to control undead" mode.)
CGNakibe
: (ZERG RUSH)
T3chn0Namagomi: (SAMMICH!)
CGNakibe: (*bites Doug*)
Der DWSage: (<_< If Nama joins as well, I am going to have to have Tolaris busy for the duration.)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (I intend on it)
Der DWSage: (*Counts* Yeah. 6 people is more than enough to drive me crazy DMing.)
Arch mage144
has left the room.
der Archmage has entered the room.
A Rockin SN: (Okay!)
Besyanteo: (*steals der Archmage's hat*)
Der DWSage
: (Huzzah!)
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. You'd be right. They were kind of freaked out, and I think at least one guy ended up feeding the vampire. Like I said. Got messy.
der Archmage
: Brilliant.
der Archmage
: I can come and assist you.
Lithaladhwen
: Thanks. I appreciate it.
Lithaladhwen
: I think people are meeting in the assembly room. See you there?
CGNakibe
: *meanwhile, a young man dressed in a light chain shirt and assorted gaudy rings and an ornate but MUCH more tasteful scimitar comes down the way* Huh?
Besyanteo: *And.. SOmeone enters the assmbly room!*
CGNakibe
: What's all this about, eh?
der Archmage: Yes. I'll prepare my things and be there in a minute.
Besyanteo
: *He's still a gnoll! He still has fluffy wings!*
Lithaladhwen
: *nods and heads over there*
Besyanteo
: *He still has a fucking fiddle! But he looks much less Jolly today*
CGNakibe
: Heard there was a meeting in here for some damn reason.
Lithaladhwen: (Should I have her go find Tolaris?)
CGNakibe
: ... eh?
Besyanteo: Yeah.
CGNakibe
: What's up with you, gnoll guy?
Der DWSage: (She is going to find that Tolaris has been sent on his own job. We'll timeskip it for brevity.)
Besyanteo
: ... Eh. Uhm.
Lithaladhwen
: (Okay!)
Besyanteo
: ... I'd rather not talk about it. Let's wait for Zea, okay?
CGNakibe
: Ya look like someone stole your goddamn wallet. Figured that didn't happen to folks 'round here.
Lithaladhwen: *She shows up!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Location?)
CGNakibe: ... wait for...
Lithaladhwen: (Assembly room.)
der Archmage
: *Elaith grabs his crap and heads to the meeting room carrying a gray shoulderbag*
CGNakibe
: *eyes Zea*
CGNakibe: 'zat her?
Besyanteo: Yup
Besyanteo
: *waves, smiling a little*
Lithaladhwen
: Hey, Haku. Glad you could make it. I recruited Elaith, so he should be showing up soon.
Lithaladhwen
: Any idea who else we've got?
CGNakibe
: What's all the meeting bit about, anyway?
Besyanteo: This is Aramis.
Lithaladhwen
: Hey Aramis. Zea Mazuo.
A Rockin SN
: *finalls stands up, thanking the nurse and walks off to the Assembly room*
T3chn0Namagomi: *meanwhile, a rather tall, thinnish-looking red-haired pale guy--who has irritated a certain elf before, has shown up...this time, he notably has a breastplate with an odd silver tinge on...and a rather clunky-looking gauntlet with
CGNakibe: How'sit goin?
T3chn0Namagomi: various straps and chains attached to it*
Lithaladhwen: Not bad. Hoping to pull together a few people to get a job finished.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...Right, so this is why I was called. Job that needs my help?
der Archmage: *The necromancer eyes the winged gnoll for a moment, seats himself at the meeting room table, and rummages through his bag*
Besyanteo
: *doesn' eye back! Or look nasty like!*
Lithaladhwen
: Yeah. For those of you who haven't heard it yet, we were asked to a town some distance from here to go... intimidate the locals into keeping their livestock under control. Apparently.
Lithaladhwen
: Well, we get there and several people are being dominated and no one is allowed to leave town.
Lithaladhwen
: We find out a vampire is behind this.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the red-haired guy in the black-and-green suit looks around...noting the various people* ...Vampire, huh?
Lithaladhwen: Can't kill him because he's got the village kids as hostages and the locals won't let us go after him.
CGNakibe
: Sounds like a fucking bad business all around to me.
Lithaladhwen: So we came back to get some reinforcements, maybe see about actually getting rid of this guy.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...I'm for it.
A Rockin SN: *walks in with the group rather groggily*
A Rockin SN: *to Zea* Hey, Flower Girl. What's with the army?
CGNakibe: Sounds like a bitch and a half, though.
der Archmage: If the villagers don't want us to get rid of the vampire, having an army isn't going to change their mind.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...been out drinking the other night, huh? *to the incomer*
der Archmage: Unless you want someone to convince them.
CGNakibe
: We got something t' deal with those villagers and shit?
T3chn0Namagomi: *newcomer
CGNakibe: I mean, I ain't interested in killin em.
A Rockin SN: *to the guy* More like the vampire bastard drunk me
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Lithaladhwen: I don't care about convincing them. I care about getting rid of that vampire and letting them deal with their sentimental crap when they're safe enough to do so.
CGNakibe
: ... Well... Shit.
A Rockin SN: Zea...
Der DWSage: (*Plays FE:TSS' 'The Valiant'*)
A Rockin SN
: You know we can't just rush in..
A Rockin SN: They'll kill all the children.
der Archmage: Hm. *smirk*
Besyanteo
: They're going to die anyway. ... Are you ocming or not?
A Rockin SN
: No, they're not going to die.
der Archmage: And the vampire will enslave them. He already has. Is that better?
Der DWSage
: (...*Changes his mind!*)
Lithaladhwen
: Thank you. You guys, talk to Alistair.
Lithaladhwen
: I am done with that.
CGNakibe
: What's this about the kids, eh?
A Rockin SN: Um..
A Rockin SN: Look...
Der DWSage: *There is some rather loud clunking and clanking...as a certain farmboy rushes into the room, mildly out of breath*
T3chn0Namagomi
: Really, dealing with the vampire's the priority, in my opinion.
A Rockin SN: *wryly*
Besyanteo: *he nods*
A Rockin SN
: You know, they won't pay us jack if we get all their children killed
Der DWSage: *Pant, pant!* Zea...needed me?
Lithaladhwen
: (Hold on. Brian's having a computer problem.)
der Archmage
: (I think I need to reboot. I'm having memory issues.)
der Archmage
has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, it'll be our fault? I don't think it's exactly us who'd actually be butchering them...
T3chn0Namagomi: Besides, aren't we essentially saving them from the vampire?
Besyanteo: I don't care about the damn money... They never were payying us...
Besyanteo
: We're either letting them submit to being cattle,
A Rockin SN
: Is it too hard to at least try?
CGNakibe: Huh. For once the money don't sound like its good enough. Vampires is bad for business.
Besyanteo: or killingthe vampire. That's...
Besyanteo
: really the only two options.
T3chn0Namagomi
: In a word?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yes.
A Rockin SN: Look.
Der DWSage: ...>_>
Lithaladhwen
: Killing the vampire is saving the kids, because if he's dead he can't kill them.
Lithaladhwen
: Otherwise they die one by one anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Exactly her point.
Lithaladhwen: And he drinks them like he drank you.
Der DWSage
: Vampire...? Bad news.
Lithaladhwen
: Was it fun?
Lithaladhwen
: Did you like it? You want him doing it to all the kids?
A Rockin SN
: *purses his lips* Yes, of course. What I was suggesting is killing the ones guarding the children.
A Rockin SN: Leading them out, then going for the vampire.
CGNakibe: NOW we get to the goddamn point.
Lithaladhwen: If you can find them, I'm all for it.
Lithaladhwen
: This is not an obstacle, Alistair.
CGNakibe
: Killin things I can do, if ya get me close enough.
Der DWSage: *Blink*
A Rockin SN
: The problem, of course...
T3chn0Namagomi: Likewise here.
Lithaladhwen: *to Tolaris* Vampire controlling a village, keeping anyone from leaving, has village kids hostage.
A Rockin SN
: Woudl be killing the guards before the kill the children, hence why I'm against causing another ruckus...
Lithaladhwen: No. The problem is finding the guards.
A Rockin SN
: Hardly...
Der DWSage: *Nods curtly, understanding this!* We're help, then.
Lithaladhwen
: Once we find them, we kill them.
A Rockin SN
: First off..
T3chn0Namagomi: It's simple, really.
A Rockin SN: I'm rather good at disguises.
CGNakibe: Eh. Maybe its just me but...
Der DWSage: *Lets everyone else talk while he stands back!*
A Rockin SN
: Secondly, I've got Fernie, who's rather inconspicuous.
CGNakibe: How much village was there t' look at?
A Rockin SN: Just around... 5 buildings or so.
Lithaladhwen: *to Shaun* Tiny. Really tiny.
T3chn0Namagomi
: We find them, and then we slash the crap out of them or gut them or fry them. Or however else you intend to kill them.
CGNakibe: (Aramis, but meh)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...then it won't take that long. It's five buildings.
CGNakibe: How many of dem buildings was you in?
Lithaladhwen: Look. Alistair, present your plan for finding the guards keeping watch over the kids. When we find them, we'll kill them. When they're dead, we kill the vampire.
A Rockin SN
: Well...
A Rockin SN: I have a few Alter Self spells I can cast while I look around...
Lithaladhwen: IM: Spit it out. Indecisive git.
A Rockin SN
: Or I can have Fernie scout.
Lithaladhwen: Look around for what? A herd of children being kept in pens? What if they're below ground like the vampire is?
A Rockin SN
: Look, all I'm saying is, we should try. There is not much loss in it.
Der DWSage: Uhm...
A Rockin SN
: All we have is to gain. Besides, do you want an army of zombie children?
Der DWSage: o_o Vampire...know you coming?
Besyanteo
: ... IF we're going to send someone in to scout around,
Lithaladhwen
: No one's arguing with you, Alistair.
CGNakibe
: ... that's a DAMN good question.
CGNakibe: Vampire think you're coming back?
Besyanteo: I'd prefer it was someone who didn't waste his time flirting with the enemy's thralls.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...you might tempt Elaith over there...
Lithaladhwen: We are asking what you want to do.
CGNakibe
: If so the goddamn kids might ALREADY be in trouble.
Der DWSage: *Nods*
A Rockin SN
: Well, fine.
A Rockin SN: *to the Gnoll* I could use Alter Self, as I said.
A Rockin SN: But if you have any better plan, I'd like to hear it.
Besyanteo: IM: Over your head.
Besyanteo
: *he sighs*
Der DWSage
: Time probably short.
A Rockin SN
: Doubtful.
Besyanteo: Do what you feel you need to. ... How much do you think you can search in one day?
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...or how long can you search, would be a better question?
A Rockin SN: Hrm...
Lithaladhwen: Why don't I fly Alistair over there to give him some time to scout before the rest of you arrive?
CGNakibe
: What we'd need is some sorta undead finding shit, I figure.
CGNakibe: That'd tell us real quick.
Lithaladhwen: We can take my mount. He's faster than anything else we've got, I think.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Sorry, can't quite help you there.
A Rockin SN: *nods to Zea* That would be a great idea. Well, if you can disguise yourself you can come too..
Lithaladhwen: *to Aramis* We know where the vampire sleeps. Just not where he's keeping the kids.
Lithaladhwen
: *to Alistair* I can't. And my mount is conspicuous as hell, so I'll need to drop you outside town.
A Rockin SN
: *to Zea* Zea... That hunter you killed, was he living?
CGNakibe: *nods* Yeah. But I ain't thinking 'bout it like that.
Lithaladhwen: And he was alive when we found him. He's not now.
A Rockin SN
: Was being the key word.
A Rockin SN: *grins*
Lithaladhwen: They know he's dead, though.
CGNakibe
: I'm thinkin if I was holdin a goddamn city hostage I'd wanna make sure I had my crazy claws on the throat of those kids at anytime, dammit.
A Rockin SN: Hrm...
A Rockin SN: Do you have any way to sense the living?
A Rockin SN: Anyone?
Lithaladhwen: You might be better off taking a councilperson's spot.
Der DWSage
: *Shakes his head*
T3chn0Namagomi
: Uh, not without slashing them to see if they bleed.
A Rockin SN: No, I mean... Sense their location..
Lithaladhwen: I can't really do that.
Arch mage144
has entered the room.
CGNakibe: *snorts* I'd not be asking if I had a way.
CGNakibe: (WB)
A Rockin SN: This isn't going to be easy, I see...
Lithaladhwen: (Hold on a second.)
Der DWSage
: ...Can detect dead?
Der DWSage
: Not far, but can.
A Rockin SN
: Hrm...
A Rockin SN: How... "Far" is not Far?
Der DWSage: Um...
Der DWSage
: From me...to wall, maybe.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: If I have Enoch in town, he'll likely be able to sense anything overtly evil, but I don't know that I want to make him do that.
Der DWSage
: *Points at the wall-that's about 50 or 60 feet of detection!*
A Rockin SN
: *nods slowly*
A Rockin SN: That's actually pretty decent.
A Rockin SN: You can come with me. They don't know you.
CGNakibe: (Elaith: *suddenly starts glowing purple* Fascinating.)
Arch mage144: I imagine that you will be able to see a corpse with your eyes before that talent becomes valuable.
Der DWSage
: No, no...dead like you make.
A Rockin SN
: Undead...
Der DWSage: Unerdead? Undead.
Der DWSage
: *Nods reassuringly to himself*
Arch mage144
: Yes, but divination spells of that sort are easily blocked by thick walls.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Undead, undead, I don't quite get what the big deal about the walking corpses is.
A Rockin SN: That every innocent who dies is a new enemy.
A Rockin SN: *wryly*
Der DWSage: *Bites his lip*
T3chn0Namagomi
: So we kill them again.
Besyanteo: *winces*
Arch mage144
: Such sentimentality isn't going to help you overcome them.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Limiting to innocents?
Der DWSage
: What were homes made of?
CGNakibe
: *shrugs* Its dead crap that apparently doesn't wanna STAY that way.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I like that every enemy who dies is a new potential ally.
T3chn0Namagomi
: So it comes back. Just kill it again.
A Rockin SN: Most of them out of wood or straw.
A Rockin SN: One of them made of bricks.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...easy enough to burn most of them if we need to.
Der DWSage: *Nods* Can detect through it.
A Rockin SN
: Yes, it would be easy enough...
A Rockin SN: IM: But broke clients are bad clients.
Der DWSage: Right. Let's go?
Arch mage144
: Who employed us to kill this vampire?
Lithaladhwen
: We were employed by a dwarf from the next town over to ensure their livestock didn't keep getting loose all over his town.
CGNakibe
: There goes your goddamn money issue, then.
Lithaladhwen: If no one in this town can leave because of a vampire, they can't take care of their cattle.
CGNakibe
: ANyway.
CGNakibe: AIn't we wasting time?
A Rockin SN: Tolaris, come with me, then.
T3chn0Namagomi: Thus, let's just find the minions, kill them, kill the vampire fucker, re-kill the minions if necessary, and get our pay.
Arch mage144: That is all I needed to know. I'm prepared to leave.
Der DWSage
: *Clanks over!*
CGNakibe
: Lets make this crap work, then.
Lithaladhwen: Alistair, are you going with me so I can get you there ahead of the others?
A Rockin SN
: What about Tolaris?
Besyanteo: IM: I'm not cut out for this job.
Lithaladhwen
: I don't know. I need to know your damn grand plan for saving everybody.
A Rockin SN
: Well... Tolaris can probably take a good walk and sense any undead, and Fernie can scout.. We'll see what we get after that first scout.
A Rockin SN: Oh, right...
CGNakibe: Last I heard, these damn vampires are pretty tough.
CGNakibe: Probably gonna take all of us.
Lithaladhwen: So should I take him, and you send your bird with us? Because I can't talk to Fernie.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Indeed.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...the bird talks?
A Rockin SN: Alright, fine. I'll catch up with you.
A Rockin SN: Hrm...
A Rockin SN: Can either of you use Prestidigitation? I think they might recognize Fernie.
Lithaladhwen: I can't.
Der DWSage
: *Shakes his head*
Lithaladhwen
: But I guess.... Tolaris and I will go, and you guys can catch up. Hopefully Tolaris will be able to narrow things down by the time you get there.
Besyanteo
: *he covers his eyes with his hand*
A Rockin SN
: Hrm.... She'll be fine.
Der DWSage: Can't do magic...
T3chn0Namagomi
: Presti-what? Oh, right...you and the odd ways you name your spells.
Besyanteo: I can do everything you've mentioned, but they'd see me from a mile off
A Rockin SN
: *nods* Aye, but the spell would wear off by then.
A Rockin SN: Alright, you do that, Zea.
Der DWSage: 6.6
Der DWSage
: Um. One thing.
CGNakibe
: Meh. I still have got a bad feeling 'bout this crap.
T3chn0Namagomi: What?
Der DWSage: *Taps the emblem of wheat on his chest* Cover this?
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...
Der DWSage: God's symbol. Undead wouldn't like it.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...IM: Who wears a picture of WHEAT?
A Rockin SN: *wryly* I could, but it would disappear within an hour. Can't you just cover it with something?
Besyanteo: (Haku: *paints*)
Lithaladhwen
: (Zea: *paints*)
Der DWSage
: *Thinks!*
Lithaladhwen
: (Do we both paint?)
Besyanteo
: (Tollaris: ;-;-)
Der DWSage: (Tolaris:*Gets a pint, pants*)
Besyanteo
: (Actually, HAku doesn't.)
Lithaladhwen
: (Zea does. Whoo!)
Besyanteo
: (I just didn't want to volunteer anyone)
Arch mage144
: IM: The display of ineptitude here is mind-boggling. This is a simple task. "Destroy a vampire."
Der DWSage
: *Digs in a little bag on his side!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: IM: I don't get what the big deal is about.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: We just kill the fucking vampire.
Der DWSage: *Comes out with a little mirror, which is promptly affixed to his chest with glue!*
Lithaladhwen
: ....
CGNakibe
: *shakes his head*
A Rockin SN: *blinks*
A Rockin SN: IM: Well, that's original.
Lithaladhwen: Oookay. As long as it's covered, I guess.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...
Der DWSage: Have better idea?
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...wear something over the armor?
Der DWSage: What would fit?
A Rockin SN
: A cloak?
Der DWSage: You have one?
Besyanteo
: ... *face to palm*
Lithaladhwen
: ...
Lithaladhwen
: Oh Gods.
CGNakibe
: Yeah, this ain't gonna be a good day at all.
A Rockin SN: ... Yes, yes. But these little details are important in disguise, trust me.
Lithaladhwen: Someone lend him a cloak.
Lithaladhwen
: None of mine will fit, for obvious reasons.
Besyanteo
: Mine have holes in the abck, or else we would be the hell out of here by now.
CGNakibe
: Ain't got no cloak right now.
T3chn0Namagomi: Mine's the only one I have.
Der DWSage: I'll say I was stabbed.
A Rockin SN
: IM: Just imagine what would happen, if you accidentally put a fake mole on the OTHER side of your cheek when putting on a disguise.
A Rockin SN: IM: I mean seriously, that's just asking for trouble.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Der DWSage: *Said that to Haku, by the by*
Arch mage144
: ...this plan is rapidly becoming absurd.
Besyanteo
